Transport links from Aviemore
Rapsons Coaches will be operating a scheduled bus service between Aviemore and The Outsider Festival. The Outsider has subsidised this service so the charge is only £1 per person for a single journey. Catch the bus on Aviemore main street (Grampian Road). To get to the bus stop from the railway station, turn left onto the main street out of the station exit and walk down past the petrol station - the bus stop is around 100 yards down the road.

The bus service is limited and is available on a first come, first served basis. Please note that due to ongoing roadworks and increased traffic at the close of the festival each night, there will only be two buses returning to Aviemore after midnight (at 12:15am and 12:45am). Tickets are not bookable in advance and are available on the bus only for the next journey.
